To all whom t may concern le it lrnown'thot l, Mitros Baron, a` citizen of the `United States, residing at Gleneide, in 'the county of Montgomery, State of Pennsylvanie, have invented a nen7 and usefdl Display-Cabinet, of which the following is e speciiicetion.y My invention consists of a cabinet adopted l for containing articles, more particularly le cig-ers, whereby they may be displayed to the best advantage for the purpose of inspection end purchase, while also protecting 'the artienes dust and dirt sind improper idling: it consists also the eddition to the body oper of the cebinet of s chamber for refg the lid of the box in which the cigars er articles ere contained, so that the e is held in" open condition, and the 20 trede-niark or brand thereon may be presented to view, Y, The inventiln is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the yimortent instrunientalities thereof may be i d, end sfo it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific de-` tails shown and describedl y ignre represents a perspective view of display cabinet and humidor embodying my invention. 2 represents etransverse lverticali section thereof on the line .r- Fig. l.. liig. 3 represents e longitudinal vertical section on the line y/-y Fig. 2, l repree side elevation of o ldetached portion 85 of the body of the device. Fig. 5 represents evertical section of the upper portion of the device on en enlarged scale. Fig. 6 repre`- sente e. plan View of the linmido'r, and a horizontal section of the portion of the leaf to to which it is ette-cned.

,Similar nnniersls of reference indicate corresponding ports in the figures.

Referring to Athe drawings, l designa-tes e cabinet the mein body of Which is composed of the trelisperent front 2, the transparent ends 3, the bottoni e, the transparent lid 5, end the leaf o, which letter is hinged on its lowerend to seid-bottom es ntf?, whereby when seid leef is lowered it uncovers the roer 5o of seid tutti permits ecosse to the ioterior thereof, and which 'when raised, covers and closes seid rear.

Rising from the frame 8 of the trans parent ends 3 et the rear portion thereof, isa stationary casing or chamber 9, which is formed of the' transparent front Wall 10, and the top and side walls ll, it beingnoticed that the leef 6 is extended upwardly rshove the main body of the cabinet as et l2, so as to close the rear of said chamber 9, but which will be uncovered when said leef is lowered sind access is thereby had to the interior of chamber. v

The transparent lid 5 has its frame hinged' at its rear end to the lower end of the frame of the chamber 9 as at 13, whereby it'rney be raised so as to uncover the top of the bon end permit access `to the contents of the saine,

While when it is lowered, said contents'ere covered and protected fromv dust and iinfproper handling. rlf'he lower portions 11i of the ends of the box are formed of plates preferably 4of metal, Whose upper ends are inturned formingthe ledges l5 on which a box rney be supported, said ledges beinginclined so that sai'd box is tilted to the front, so that its contents `'which will be displayed through the transparent lid 5 may be presented to the best advantage for the purpose of inspection and purchase While the transparent portions of the ends 3 of the body present the ends of the body to View exposing the brand color, term and other marks lthet may be thereon, it being noticed also that before the box is placed in the cabinet the leaf is lowered and the lid of the box is raised, the box then being introduced into the main body of the cabinet, and its lid moved into the chamber 9 as an inclosure therefor, Where it is held in raised or open condition, and remains there, exhibiting to the'front in comparative upright condition, the trade-niark or brand of the goods, noted on said lid, it being held in place by the leaf which is ,restored to its normal. position and held thereat by the catch 16 which is pivoted to the top *Wall 1l of the chamber 9 end yadopted to overhang the topl of the extension l2 of the leef 6, but which When prop,- eriy turned releases seid extensionvland con sequently the lea't' permitting the latter to drop and so permit access to the body of the box and its lid. For temporarily holding` the lid of the box in the casing or chamber 11 when the leaf 6 is open, the catch 16 is lowered so that it will overhang said lid and prevent it from dropping during the adj nstment of the box in the cabinet, but when said leaf is to be closed, the catch is turned upwardly and the leaf raised to full extent, when its top. will pass said catch. Then when the leaf is seated in its closed position, the catchis turned downwardly or drops .when it again engages the leaf and prevents opening thereof. The stationary casing` or chamber 1 1 has its front,A wall inclined forwardly from top 'to bottom, at which latter' place it joins the butt of the hinge 13 of the lid 5 of the body of the cabinet. rIhis widens the lower portion ot said chambc` to permit. the lid of the box in open condition to be most conveniently inserted in the same, and allow it to be placed in inclined position back of the front wall of said chamber. this allows also the lid 5 of the body to be placed in inclined position on said wall to the front and rested thereagainst held in open position, While the contents of the body are nncovered and undergoing inspection and handling.

The lid 5 is providedwith the'l-ever or hand piece 17 for conveniently raising and lowering the same. On the inner face of the n per extension of the leaf G is the hnmit or or moistening device 18 which when 'the leaf is closed enters the chamber 9 and occupies the same, so as to impart humidity to the contents of the box, a feature ot importance to cigars, it being noticed that the iront wall of said chamber is inclined forwardly, so as to increase the capacity of said chamber, in order to properly receive said humidor as well as the lid ot the box in its raised position, as most clearly shown in Fig. 2. v

The hnniidor is composed of a box with perforated Walls adapted to contain an absorbent and which is provided on its ends with tongues 19 which are fitted and snstained on ways 20 on the inner face of the leaf, thns adapting` the box to be removed and replenished with water or other iiuid.

The body of thecabinet is'preferably ot the form o f a trapczium, so as to assist in displaying the box or its contents to the best advantage in its inclined position in said cabinet.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Let.- ters Patent, is l; A cabinet: composed of a body, a transparent lid therefor, achamber rising staf'r tionarily from the rear portion of the frame ort said body, said lid being hinged to the i base oit said chamber at the 'front thereof, the front tace ot said chamber beingtransparent, the rears of said body and chamber being open in communication with each other, and a lca't extending from the bottom of the body to the top ot the chamber forming a connnon closure for the open rcars of said chamber and body, said front face extendii'ig inclined forwardly from the top of said chamber to the bottom thcrcot` Q. In a cabinet, a box-recelving` and snp portingT body having a transparent lid adapted to be opened, a stationary lid-receiving and supporting chamber rising? from the trame of said body, the roars ot said chamber and body being open in communication with each other. and a member adaptcd to forni a closure for said open rears of the body and chamber.
